- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a transferring apparatus for a flexible electronic device and method for fabricating a flexible electronic device, and in particular, to a method for debonding a flexible substrate of a flexible electronic device.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Flexible displays are popularly applied to portable electronic products due to their sturdiness, light weights, and thin structures. Additionally, flexible displays provide designers with greater degrees of freedom for designing of different shapes or curvatures.
- During fabrication of flexible displays, positioning and flat disposition of the flexible substrates is important for higher quality thereof. For fabricating flexible display panels, a plurality of panels is defined on a large-sized substrate. However, a drawback of the conventional fabricating process results in distortion of the flexible substrates cut therefrom, and misalignment of circuits on the flexible substrate when bonding to a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. Specifically, a peeling problem occurs between the flexible substrates and the glass carrier.

FIG. 1 a shows a conventional flexible thin film transistor (TFT)substrate 5 disclosed in TW. Pat. No. 200806073. A 20 μmorganic release film 511 is deposited on aglass carrier 6, wherein therelease film 511 can be directly separated from theglass carrier 6. Next, aninorganic film 513 and anorganic film 514 are formed on therelease film 511. An amorphous silicon orpolysilicon TFTs 52 is then formed on theorganic film 514. Next, therelease film 511 withTFTs 52 thereon is separated from theglass carrier 6. Aflexible TFT substrate 5 is fabricated.

Alternatively, a fabricatedflexible substrate 208 may be used to bond onto thecarrier substrate 200 via anadhesion layer 206. As shown inFIG. 2 c, theflexible substrate 208 covers theadhesion layer 206, and the bottom of theflexible substrate 208 is connected to the top of theadhesion layer 206. In one embodiment, theflexible substrate 208 may comprise a transparent polymer, for example, polyimide or other plastics. Additionally, in one embodiment, an adhesion force between theadhesion layer 206 and theflexible substrate 208 is larger than that between thecarrier substrate 200 and theflexible substrate 208.

As shown inFIG. 2 d, thedevice forming regions 214 are substantially directly on the release layers 202, so that thedevice forming regions 214 has a projection region located inside the release layers 202. Therefore, the flexibleelectronic components 210 may have a projection region located inside the release layers 202. For example, as shown inFIG. 2 d, the flexibleelectronic components device forming regions conductive lines flexible substrate 208 by a semiconductor process. Theconductive lines electronic components electronic components - Next, referring to
FIG. 2 e, a pre-cutting step is performed to cut theflexible substrate 208, theadhesion layer 206 and thecarrier substrate 200, which are between any two adjacent flexibleelectronic components carrier substrate 200, thereby separating theflexible substrate 208, theadhesion layer 206 and thecarrier substrate 200 into independent flexible electronic device quasi-structures 300 a and 300 b with a larger area. Each of the flexible electronic device quasi-structures 300 a or 300 b is a structure having a single flexibleelectronic component FIG. 2 e, the flexible electronic device quasi-structure 300 a comprises acarrier substrate 200 a, arelease layer 202 a, theadhesion layer 206 a, theflexible substrate 208 a, the single flexibleelectronic component 210 a and theconductive line 212 a.

It is noted that theflexible substrate 208 is connected to thecarrier substrate 200 via anadhesion layer 206, and the adhesion force between theadhesion layer 206 and theflexible substrate 208 is larger than that between thecarrier substrate 200 and theflexible substrate 208. Therefore, when performing the pre-cutting step, a peeling problem on an interface between the flexible substrate and the carrier substrate of the conventional flexible electronic device does not occur. - Next, referring to
FIG. 2 f, a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) 216 a is disposed on the flexible electronic device quasi-structure 300 a by a bonding process (only one flexible electronic device quasi-structure 300 a is shown for brevity.), electrically connected to the flexibleelectronic component 210 a through theconductive line 212 a so that the flexibleelectronic component 210 a can couple to other electronic devices. - Next, referring to

In one embodiment, the scribe line B1 surrounds a subsequent flexibleelectronic device 500 a as shown inFIG. 2 h.

The adhesion force between theadhesion layer 206 and theflexible substrate 208 is larger than that between thecarrier substrate 200 and theflexible substrate 208. Therefore, when performing the pre-cutting step, a peeling problem on an interface between the flexible substrate and the carrier substrate of the conventional flexible electronic device does not occur. - Additionally, material selection of the release layer depends on materials of the carrier substrate and the adhesion layer. Therefore, the adhesion force between the release layer and the carrier substrate may be changed. In embodiments as shown in

Thus, the flexibleelectronic device 500 b comprising theflexible substrate 208 a and the flexibleelectronic component 210 a thereon is completely formed. The separating and debonding steps using the laser beam to gasify the adhesion layer can eliminate the slow throughput problem due to a large laser scanning area of the conventional large-sized flexible electronic devices and the low yield problem due to laser beams passing thorough the flexible substrate and destroying the flexible electronic component thereon of the conventional flexible electronic devices. - In embodiment as shown in
